passport-bootstrap

passport-bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code from expandingideas-ai/Mnemo-MCP. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,040 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of passport-bootstrap, MIT.

A memory-restoration skill for mnemo-mcp, a memory service for AI tools. It imports an encrypted memory passport from Amazon S3 or Google Drive onto a newly configured machine.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to restore a memory passport, import memories after a device change, or recover memories from S3 or Google Drive.
Why use it?
It helps recover previous memory after installing mnemo-mcp on a new laptop or virtual machine, while checking whether local memories could be newer.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

passport-bootstrap scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Passport Bootstrap

Restore an encrypted memory passport from a configured backend so a fresh mnemo-mcp install picks up the user's full memory history.

When to Use

Trigger on explicit signals:

  • "set up mnemo on this machine"
  • "restore my passport" / "import my memory passport"
  • "bootstrap mnemo on this laptop / VM"
  • New-machine context: "I just installed mnemo on a new device"
  • Recovery context: "I lost my memories, can you restore from S3?"

Do NOT trigger when the user is on an already-configured machine (check config(action="status") first - if total_memories > 0, ask before importing because import LWW-merges and may NOT overwrite local rows newer than the bundle).

Workflow

Step 1: Detect configured backend

Call config(action="status") and inspect the response. The default backend is the first entry of SYNC_BACKEND env (defaults to gdrive). If both s3 and gdrive are configured, ask the user which one to import from. If neither is configured, stop and tell the user they need to run the relay form first (config(action="setup_start") in HTTP mode, or set SYNC_S3_BUCKET + GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID env vars in stdio mode).

Step 2: Confirm passphrase

The bundle is AES-256-GCM-encrypted with an Argon2id-derived key from the user's passphrase. The MCP server needs the RAW passphrase to decrypt - the Argon2id hash stored in config.enc is verification- only.

In stdio mode: instruct the user to set SYNC_PASSPHRASE env var before running mnemo-mcp (or to relaunch with the env exported).

In HTTP mode: prompt the user to submit the relay form's passphrase field again (the raw value is held in process memory only and is cleared on restart - it is NEVER persisted).

Step 3: Import the bundle

Call config(action="import_passport", key="<backend>") where <backend> is s3 or gdrive. The server pulls the latest bundle from the chosen backend, decrypts with the supplied passphrase, and applies each row via last-write-wins per row (local rows newer than the bundle row are preserved + an audit row is written to sync_overrides).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
